Conduct joint research and consultancy projects. Deliver guest lectures and industrial exposure sessions.

This partnership will foster innovation, knowledge sharing, and enhanced industry-academic collaboration.

We look forward to an exciting journey together!

On February 13, our experts Yogamaniraj A S, Sivasankar A, and Jagan J Raj conducted a successful VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) test flight at KSR College Ground. The test flight demonstrated the stability, efficiency, and seamless transition of the VTOL aircraft from vertical takeoff to forward flight. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our aerospace innovations, reaffirming our commitment to advancing drone technology.

A highly informative anti-drone demonstration was organized at our industry premises, led by the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force). The session showcased cutting-edge counter-drone strategies and technologies, including real-time threat simulations, jamming systems, and detection radars. This event provided valuable insights into mitigating drone threats, strengthening our expertise in security measures and operational protocols.

Our team members, Yogamaniraj A S and Sivasankar A, successfully conducted an intensive hands-on training session for BSF (Border Security Force) soldiers in Dehradun,Delhi. This training focused on equipping BSF personnel with advanced skills in surveillance drone operation, flight mechanics, real-time applications, and maintenance techniques. The interactive session enabled soldiers to enhance their technical proficiency, ensuring effective deployment of drones in field operations

Aakash Aerospace had the privilege of welcoming Col. Manik Anand, Planning Officer (AS), Ministry of Defence, to our industry facility on September 14, 2024.
